Chapter 160

In the same boat

The next morning, when Bai Shenyu was still lying on the couch in a daze to rest, there was a knock on the door.

Long Tian shouted outside: "Senior Sister Bai, hurry up, there is something wrong with Mu Yu's situation!" ”

As soon as Bai Shenyu heard this, he turned over and hurriedly opened the door. Sure enough, I saw Long Tian standing outside the door with a sad face, and when I saw her, I didn't say a word, and walked into another room with Bai Shenyu.

Mu Yu was lying on the couch, her teeth clenched and she couldn't breathe, and her originally delicate face was flushed. Bai Shenyu stretched out her hand and touched her forehead, it was extremely hot, she turned her head to Long Tian and said, "You can help me hold her." ”

Long Tian followed her instructions, holding Mu Yu's shoulders and sitting him down, while Bai Shenyu sat on the couch and pressed his palms against Mu Yu's back to inject a stream of true qi into it.

Soon, a white mist slowly appeared on the top of Mu Yu's head, and his cheeks, which were originally red, gradually returned to normal. Mu Yu opened his eyes vigorously and exhaled a breath of turbidity, and there was some more brilliance in his originally dull eyes.

"Quickly run your mental method and guide me to inject the true qi in your body to see if I can remove the venom from your body." Bai Shenyu said softly.

Mu Yu agreed in his mouth, and calmed down and let the sudden extra true qi in his body slowly run along the big and small Zhou Tian......

After about a stick of incense, she stopped exercising, barely squeezed out a smile, and said weakly: "Sister Bai, okay, you can also take a rest." ”

Bai Shenyu slowly retracted his work, stretched out his hand and caressed Mu Yu's haggard face lovingly, and said with self-blame: "It's my sister who didn't take good care of her on the road, causing you to eat the poisonous fruit by mistake, and you have to suffer such a torment and pain......" At this point, she was already crying.

Mu Yu smiled bitterly: "It's all my own greed, so everyone can't get to Juling Peak in time, and I wasted so many days in vain." ”

Long Tian stood on one side in a daze, not knowing what to say, he had always loved Mu Yu deeply, and he couldn't help but blame himself when he saw her now.

In the past few days, both of them have been worried and tired about Mu Yu, and their hearts are haggard. Both of them took turns to take care of Mu Yu, replacing them to make up for sleep, although the two took care of them carefully, Mu Yu's condition kept repeating, sometimes good and sometimes bad, even if it was a master like Bai Shenyu, who was good at using poison, he was helpless.

When the three of them were bored in the room, there was a faint commotion in the distance, and many people were arguing fiercely about something.

Bai Shenyu is a little strange, there have been few pedestrians in and out of the city recently, how could so many people come out today, and make such a big movement.

She motioned for Long Tian to go out and investigate, and soon Long Tian came back to inform him that a group of ancient people from outside the city were about to enter the city, and they were blocked by the guards, and they were arguing.

"The ancients?" The beautiful eyes of the white sunken fish seemed to reveal a hint of surprise.

Long Tian nodded and said, "I see that those ancient people came out of nowhere, and their expressions are very panicked, as if they are trying to avoid something terrible. But the guards at the gates refused to let them into the city, and there was a mess. ”

Bai Shenyu said: "This ancient city was originally built by the ancient people, and gradually there were people from the Central Plains who came here to trade and trade, and later settled here in large numbers, and they were safe for a while. However, since the Wu family lost the battle with the Sima family, they took refuge here with many henchmen, and later used conspiracy tricks to take the city for themselves, and now it seems that they want to drive all the ancient people into the reckless forest. ”

Long Tian didn't know anything about this history, and Bai Shenyu said again: "You take care of Senior Sister Muyu here first, and I'll go out to see what is going on." ”

Bai Shenyu, dressed in a white smoke and soft veil, walked out of the inn and headed towards the city gate.

Standing in the distance and secretly checking, he saw a group of yellow-clothed men standing in the corridor of the city gate, blocking those ancient people outside, and his voice was fierce.

And those ancient men, women, old and young, were blocked outside, I don't know how many, and the cries of women and children outside were really pitiful.

At the back, the shape shì became more and more chaotic, and several ancient clansmen fell in pools of blood in the shadow of the sword and sword, and the others scattered and fled. On the tower of the city dozens of feet high, a large number of archers appeared and shot arrows outside the city.

After a scream, the city gate was tightly shut, blocking out those who were still **.

Bai Shenyu didn't dare to stop it casually, so as not to cause trouble, so he had to hold back the anger in his heart and return to the inn angrily.

"Just now when you mentioned the Gu people, it suddenly occurred to me that they might be able to cure Mu Yu's strange disease. But I didn't expect that now the city gate can't enter and exit at all, so I can only slow down temporarily. Bai Shen generally checked Mu Yu's condition and said.

Long Tian nodded, and said, "There will be a caravan coming in and out at noon, and when the city gate opens, we will leave here to ask the Gu people for help, right?" ”

Bai Shenyu was a little worried, thinking that the ancient people must be very hateful to the people in the Central Plains now, and it would take some effort to let them rescue them, but Mu Yu was in danger now, and the doctors in the city couldn't find out the cause, so there was really no better way.

She tapped her head and agreed with Long Tian's idea, waiting for the city gate to open before going out of the city together.

The three of them finally waited anxiously until noon, Long Tian took Mu Yu and Bai Shenyu out of the inn together, and walked to the city gate, sure enough, the city gate was wide open, and there was an endless stream of people entering the city. Looking at the costumes of these people, they are all from the Central Plains, including leather merchants, medicinal herb merchants, Fangshi rangers walking the rivers and lakes, etc., as well as groups of mine gold diggers and so on.

When they went out of the city, the corpses of the ancient people on the ground had already been disposed of, and although the ground had also been washed with water, the pools of blood were shocking, and it was obvious that many people had died.

Long Tian gritted his teeth and said with hatred: "Those ancient people are unarmed, they must have come here to seek refuge, how can the Wu family afford such a hot hand, it is really the anger of people and gods, fortunately, my father cut off contact with the Wu family as soon as possible, otherwise I would be embarrassed." ”

Bai Shenyu was also like frost, silent for a while, she raised her eyes to look, but saw a figure at the foot of the mountains in the distance, presumably those ancient people who were watching from afar.

She glanced at the dragon angel, and walked towards the foot of the mountain in the distance, and sure enough, she saw hundreds of ancient people gathered together tremblingly, looking at the wide open city but not daring to take a step forward.

When these people saw the three Central Plains people come forward, the original noisy sound stopped abruptly, only the cry of a baby could be heard from time to time, and the adult's face showed a look of doubt and vigilance.

Bai Shenyu slowed down his face, showed a smile like a spring breeze and rain, and said, "Don't panic, we are different from the people in the royal palace in the city. ”

She pointed to Mu Yu who was curled up in Long Tian's arms and said, "My sister accidentally ate a poisonous wild fruit on the road, and she is dying at this time, so ...... So come to your rescue. ”

After she said this, there were already tears in her eyes, and she was pitiful.

These ancient people were originally extremely wary of the three of them, but they were very emotional when they heard what she said, and they were relieved to see that the purple-clothed girl in Long Tian's arms was indeed angry.

Although the ancient people lived a primitive life of drinking blood, they were simple and kind by nature, even if the Wu family took away the control of the royal city, they only resisted for a while at that time, and slowly acquiesced to their fate as time passed. It was only recently that Wu Qi vented his hatred on the ancient tribe that hid the map of the underground ancient city because of the loss of his beloved son, and he killed and drove all of them out of the city, which caused the anger of the ancient people again.

They looked at the three of them, and their faces were all extremely kind and close people, so they didn't embarrass them, but they were silent and felt sorry for themselves.

Bai Shenyu waited for a long time, and when she saw that the people in front of her were scattered, no one paid attention to her request, and she couldn't help but become anxious again.

She begged again, "There are elders among you who are highly respected and skilled in medicine, and if you save my sister, I will be rewarded with great rewards......

"Saving a life is better than creating a seventh-level floating slaughter, and the merit is immeasurable." An old man in his sixties walked out of the crowd and whispered, "Old man looks kind, you are definitely not bad people, if you can help me, I will do my best." ”

Bai Shenyu and Long Tian were overjoyed when they heard this, and hurriedly bowed and saluted. Bai Shenyu couldn't help but say happily: "The old man understands the righteousness so well, the little girl is inexplicably grateful, and please help quickly." ”

Long Tian put Mu Yu down, helped her sit on a stone, and watched the old man carefully examine her.

The two grew up together since childhood, but Mu Yu has always been hot and cold to Long Tian, and Long Tian has never abandoned and followed him, so the relationship between the two will not be rusty, but they are always separated by a veil, and their hearts are not close together.

The old man opened Mu Yu's eyes and examined it carefully, then cut his pulse, and finally asked Bai Shenyu: "The girl just said that she was sick after eating some wild fruits on the road?" ”

Bai Shenyu nodded and told him in detail.

The old man also nodded, and said, "The skin of that wild fruit is as bright red as blood, and the size is as big as a peach and plum, it seems that it was poisoned by mistake. ”

Bai Shenyu saw that the old man was not bad at all when he said the wild fruit, and he was very happy in his heart, and asked anxiously: "Is it possible for the seniors to detoxify?" ”

The old man's face stretched and he said with a smile: "This is not difficult, I will ask people to collect some herbs nearby, boil them into a decoction for her to drink, and they will definitely be able to cure the disease." ”

"Old man, old man, you are really a hanging pot to help the world." Bai Shenyu's depressed mood for many days suddenly rained and the sky cleared, and he knelt on the ground and kowtowed to thank him.

The old man hurriedly helped her up and said, "The girl doesn't have to be polite, this is all within the power of the old man, how can she not be saved when she dies." ”

He called over a few teenage boys and told them to go and pick some herbs nearby. Several teenagers were very well-behaved and sensible, and after hearing this, they ran to collect medicine according to the old man's instructions.

Long Tian took out a bag of gold coins to express his gratitude, but was also rejected by the old man.

Bai Shenyu looked at the old and weak women and children in the crowd, all of them looked miserable, and asked the old man why.

The old man sighed: "Sure enough, you are all people who have just come from Dongzhou, and you don't know anything about the wilderness in the south. ”

So he told them the reason why these people had left the mountain range and rushed to the Barbarian King's City. It turned out that they were also a branch of the descendants of the ancient clan, and they temporarily came to the royal city from the nearby mountains to seek refuge because they were hiding from the once-in-a-century beast tide, but it was not clear why the guardians of the royal city kept them out of the city gate and made a big move.

Bai Shenyu had also cultivated in Juling Peak Mountain for some time, but he had never heard of it. However, the invasion of beast tides is a common occurrence, and it is not necessarily so strict, and the beast tide that occurs once in a hundred years in the wilderness must be very terrifying.

She pondered for a moment and asked with concern: "I have also seen the terrifying scene of the beast tide invading the monster attacking the city several times in Dongzhou, sometimes it happens several times a year, as for the beast tide that occurs once in a hundred years, I have never heard of it, it must be extremely terrifying?" ”

The old man's expression was grim, his eyebrows were tightly locked, and he said in a low voice: "The great beast tide once in a hundred years is also something handed down from the ancestors, and no one has seen it with their own eyes, but now the ancient people in the entire forest are panicked, and they can only take refuge in the city according to the instructions of their ancestors." ”

He pointed to the huge city wall in the distance that was dozens of zhang high and said, "If the beast tide is not terrifying, the ancestors don't need to build such a tall city wall to defend it. ”

Bai Shenyu didn't ask any more questions, but Long Tian "snorted": "Uncle, don't worry, the Wu family has done a lot of evil, and we will always clean him up and return this city to you ancient people." ”

When the old man and Bai Chengyu heard what he said, they were all taken aback, and they were dumbfounded and speechless for a while.

At this moment, the children who had gone to collect herbs had already returned. The old man said goodbye for a while, and went over to decoction and medicine.

Bai Shenyu held Mu Yu's hand and said with a sigh of relief: "Sister Jiren has her own natural appearance, so she finally doesn't have to be tortured anymore!" ”

Mu Yu looked at the faces of the two of them, who were also getting thinner, twitched the corners of his mouth and couldn't speak, his heart was full of mixed feelings, and two lines of tears flowed out......
